Me is ToAsT

No mood to go out today. Juz wanna have a good rest.. as the last few days had been VERY hectic for me- especially on last thursday. That day had been an unusual day for me coz i'd actually woke up quite early in the morning 4 retail therapy wif denti and maria (they hate each other) at the mall nearby. HAH. we ate dinner there and i bought a new android.

Did you miss me?

Today at the gym as the sweat dripped down into my eyes everything i have been thinking about the last couple of days kind of all came together. What was i thinking about you might ask?

Well ever since I met Maria a few months ago every time i am around her i feel like i should be so much better then i am. Like i have not even started to tap the potential that lives inside me. Also some of my frenz told me sometimes they feel like they could be doing so much more ..... It got me thinking.... we are all kind of trapped in boxes made by our own fears and laziness. Some people break out of the box and run towards everything that they want in life while others stay lost behind. Afraid to push down a wall. Maybe they tried but came up short only to fall back into the box more tired and alone then they were before. All these people need is a little help from the rest of us who have already made it out..... In the way of getting them motivated ...... i wonder if i have ever had any impact on someone. If i have inspired someone to change in a positive way. Because there have been so many people who have impacted my life and i should like to repay the favour..... So just remember this - chase your dreams no matter what they are and never laugh at somebody else's .....

the Lost Poem

I see it in him I know it thru and thru,
Why does it happen like this?
I see it coming, can it be?
I love him more then words can explain,
I feel it deep inside when we are together, and feel it hurt when we are apart.
I look for him all around wanting for him to be near.
I love him, listening for his voice in the wind.
Waiting for him to return......

Miffed!

i am really really pissed at hubby! he broke seven dishes last night! says "oops"

#musicmonday - Fight to Sing!

The headline screamed: American Idol Contestant Brutally Beaten By Gang Of Girls

Truthfully, the "American Idol" part of the story is what I call "American broadcast media hype" --- 17-year old Shacara McLaurin did actually try out during on eof the TV show's low-level auditions, but didn't make the cut. The April 1st attack on the singing schoolgirl from New York City happened outside the home of the aspiring singer's vocal coach: of curse the victim WAS WARNED ON FACEBOOK the night before she was pummelled with a padlock-wrapped-in-a-sock.

MORAL: Parents, kids and others: if you see any threat on a social network, TELL SOMEBODY! If you see something, say something!

There are additional reports that the beating was over the affections of a boy. ALSO we have NO IDEA what kind of person McLaurin is when around classmates. I've known girls who are so sweet and adorbale around adults but turn into a-holes when in the company of peers.

An Open Letter To Shengkay

Dear Sheng,

I know it's hard and only a fool will tell you that it's easy but try to keep going and remain strong for the baby.

I've been busy these past few months and we haven't been in touch. I don't actually know what happened but reading from your blog entries, I gather that you've been through a lot since the start of the year.

I'm sorry if I was not able to help or even lend my shoulder for you to cry on. I hope I was able to give you advices at that time and now, I'm wonderin' if things would have been different if you heard my stories and POV.

I had my share of heartaches and had my heart broken too before but at the time when my life seems bleak, I trusted God and believed His plans. Betrayal is hard to accept and forgiving is easier said than done but by having my faith in God, I was able to move on.

The best advice I received during that time was from my friend Joesel. She said "She, bisan ano mo kapilit kung hindi para kanimo, hindi guid ra. Bisan ano mo kalagyo, kung kamo guid, kamo guid. Ang importante gin-obra mo tanan nga pwede mo maobra, kung wara, te basi hindi guid man tana ang para kanimo." (She, no matter how you try if it's not for you, it's not. No matter how you run away, if you're meant to be, then you're meant to be. What's important is that you did everything you can but if nothing came out of it, maybe he's not really the one for you.)

Be strong Sis. Focus on your baby and the future. You're right, whether or not you're ready for the responsibility, you have no choice but to be. Try to be healthy during your pregnancy. Eat more fruits and veggies and drink plenty of water and milk. Avoid sweets, avoid soda. Try walking and other low impact exercises after the 1st trimester to avoid edema (with your doctor's advice).

Love and light sis, Godspeed!

To Love or Not To Love?

Today is valentine's day and so I decided to talk about love. No, not about mushy stuffs or about the love of my life. It's about my bestfriend's dilemma in love.

One of my bestfriends has fallen in love for the first time and just like any other girl in love, she thinks what they have is a great love story unfolding. But before they could go beyond the "once upon a time" phrase, the "the end" phrase began to lurk in every sentence of their story book.

Why?

She's in love with a man who has cancer. He was diagnosed with leukemia shortly after they met sometime ago.

I know this sounds like the movie A Walk To Remember but this is not fiction, it's real. And now she's asked for my advice and asked me that if I were in her place, would I be willing to go into a serious relationship with someone who has cancer?

We can't choose whom to fall in love with but being in a serious relationship is a choice. Many people get into relationships because they love each other but it takes more than love and lust to make a relationship work. Committing with another person is hard enough as it is. You have to deal with a lot of issues, face a lot of challenges together and hopefully come up with compromises for your differences.

Add to that the issue of terminal illness, and the problem gets bigger.

So, my answer to her question will be: IT DEPENDS.

It depends on how deeply I love and care for the other person. Will I be strong enough to lend my strength to him during those trying times? Will I be patient and understanding enough to take his mood swings in stride? Will I be of help to him rather than a liability? How committed am I if ever?

Life is a journey and we meet people along the way. If I happen to meet a wonderful person somewhere along the path, it doesn't matter whether the meeting will just be brief and short. What matters is that I had memorable sweet memories that will last a lifetime.

To love or not to love? It depends. But I really hope and pray that God will send a miracle to the both of you, miga Nic.
